We are tardy in posting about some pretty cool news over here at blumebox. My husband Wade, co-founder of blumebox,  became a US citizen and we could not think of a better way to honor his achievement than to throw a red, white and blue party! Don’t fret all you Kiwi’s out there, he did not give up all his oath to the Queen, he has dual citizenship!

Featured for the first time ever, we showcased the workings of our new cake pop insert at this party. We bundled five 4″ white cubes, wrapped in our red and white striped paper ribbon, inserted the new cake pop insert into each cube and filled them with doughnut holes on a stick! This was a fun and inviting way to get guests to come and go noshing on doughnut holes. Only problem, we ran out of doughnuts all too fast! Note to party planner…order extra extra doughnut holes.

We posted these doilie & heart jars a week ago and wanted to try and recreate them on the 4″ blumeboxes.

While we love the vintage appeal of the mason jar version by crescendoh.com, the blumeboxes offer a pop of color.

Did we mention how easy this was to make? You will need a pack of doilies, felt (red and pink), and string and that is it. The only adhesive needed was to tie down the ends of the string. It was that simple.

How heart-a-licous would a table of  4″ cube blumeboxes in white, pretty n pink, red and passion pink decorated with assorted colored hearts and doilies be for a valentines party?

Love Sweet Love is what we have for our new cake pop/lollipop display box. We here at blumebox have a “thing” for sweets and when we got introduced to cake pops…man oh man it was love at first bite. So we saw fit to design a carrier to house these sweet suckers!

The cake pop /lollipop display simply fits into our 4″ blumebox cube and VOILA! You have yourself one tasty looking display! Of course sky is the limit as to what else you can put into these new displays. We are loving brainstorming all the options.

For Valentine’s Day we tested mini cupcakes that we stuck a stick into. They held up well for the shoot, but we could see that the weight of the cupcake could force itself down the stick overtime.

A party is not a party without something to do, and this bubble gum bauble necklace is by far the cutest thing out there! If you have not met One Charming Party, do! They crafted up this adorable how to and have oodles more!

Say it with a heart!  For this shoot we used the 4″ pretty n pink blumebox with the NEW cake pop insert, heart lollies, tiny cinnamon heart candies to fill the bottom, and a heart chalk decal.  The bottom photo is a 6″ red burst blumebox with white mums and mini red carnations along with our heart chalk decal.

We fell in love with these heart chalk details and know you will too! We have a limited quantity of heart chalk decals for Valentine’s Day, so call today to get you order in, to send a message of love on your flower and candy bouquets!

The doilie & hearts project was just too cute for words. It came from Jenny Doh’s Blog, Crescendoh.com, and is inspiration for us to try out on our cubed blumeboxes.

How about a cookie pop for your valentine sweetheart?

These cookie pops are made from two sugar cookies sandwiched together with frosting, on a lollipop stick. The outside cookie was frosted on one side decorated with skittles or whatever other decor you would like to use.

Hostess Tori used a 4″ white cube blumebox and our brand new cake pop insert to display her fun sweet treats. Simple, easy, and cute!

This idea is a easy to tailor for any event or holiday.

For info on ordering cookie pop, cake pop, lollipop inserts, contact us.

What an enchanting winter wedding we spotted by the super talented Courtenay Lambert Florals !  Crystals and candlelight keep this winter wedding warm and inviting.  The vibrant bridal bouquets add the perfect pop of color to this simple and chic silver and white color palette.  The bridesmaids bouquets are placed in a 8″ Silver Blumebox embellished with grey velvet ribbon and crystal trim.

This magical winter decor also lends itself well to Holiday or NYE party decor.

Did someone say gumdrops?  I’m there.  Seriously who doesn’t love gumdrops?  Such a fantastically bright and cheery Holiday party from Paper and Pigtails and also featured on Hostess with the Mostess.   We love all of the colorful creative details that were included in this party.  The gumdrop trees, the gumdrop cake, gumdrop necklaces, gumdrop shaped cookies, and of course the gumdrop bouquets in the 6″ white bright blumeboxes.

All of these great details would also work well for a Candyland themed party!

Spruce up your table top this holiday season with live greens!

In our photo at the top we have a lemon Cyprus tree that is not your traditional evergreen but still really festive and we love the pop of chartreuse.  We have placed it in a 4″ bright white blumebox and added a festive touch with candy cane washi tape.  On a side note we are totally obsessed with washi tape.

This is a great idea for centerpieces, mantles, or even great a hostess gift for all of those holiday parties!

What we love most about the holiday season is the endless array of delectable sweets!

We love candy so much that we decided to create peppermint topiaries. We started with Styrofoam cones and painted them red.  And then we affixed the peppermint candy to the cone with a hot glue gun.  We wrapped our  4″ blumebox with ribbon to dress them up, filled them with marbles and put the finished peppermint trees on top.  

This extremely simple and easy whimsical DIY  project, could be less holiday and more suitable for kids birthday parties and candy bars by using different sweets. Sink your teeth into some gumdrops, M&M’s, licorice. . . to name a few!
